Don't Feed The Animals Poem by Zyw Zywa

Don't Feed The Animals

With a broad chest
a masturbating tongue
beautiful feathers, a hot breath
and a forked tongue
they live on our skin

We little horny rats in the eyes
of the screaming crowd
that rattles the fences
in the zoo, the cages
in which we are trapped

The gorillas who clear the way
the hyena who says she is helping
the peacock who dresses our hair
the dragon for our image and
the hissing of the tour manager

Don't step on their tails
and don't feed them, please
Just let their airs
explode, no more ground
beneath their feet
